Audio Signal Processing: Basics and Applications

This lecture covers the basics of audio signal processing, including sound analysis, frequency characteristics, and compression techniques. The instructor, Alain Dufaux, explains the principles behind the vibration of elastic objects, sound intensity, frequency perception, and the mechanics of the human ear. The lecture also delves into real-time audio signal processing, digital quantification, and frequency analysis. Additionally, it explores advanced topics such as noise reduction and compression algorithms in audio signals.
